ABSTRACT:
A multiple-item holder for paper items, such as memos, and the like, intended to be supported on a substantially horizontal auxiliary underlying supporting surface (such as that of a desk, for example) and adapted to support in any of a plurality of selected positions from one to a large number of small paper items such as bills, memos, and the like, and in a conveniently arranged, segregated manner such as to facilitate the subsequent handling of the more important ones of said items on what might be termed a priority basis. The multiple-item holder consists of an upstanding portion and a plurality of spaced laterally directed arms, thus providing a very substantial measure of visibility and not obscuring a person's view and making it possible to magnetically (or otherwise) attach or engage any desired number of small clamping devices to any portion of the device and to clampingly engage corresponding paper items which will be supported at the selected locations. In a preferred arrangement, the device is so arranged that the lower portions of supported paper items will lie behind lower adjacent transverse arms of the device so as to avoid obscuring the top portion of each paper item and a title or designation marking which may be removably carried by any of the transverse arms at any desired location to indicate the nature of adjacent supported paper items and possibly the order of priority of the handling of same. In a preferred form, the paper-item-holding clamp means may be magnetically mountable on any ferromagnetic surface portion of the transverse arms, and the clamping jaws thereof provide for the easy clamping and unclamping of the paper items. Also, in a preferred form, the title or designation markings may be magnetically attached to the transverse arms at any desired location and in a manner which does not in any way interfere with the attachment at the same location of one or more of the paper-holding clamp devices. In one preferred form, the device is provided with a substantially non-tippable base member and means for supporting at least one tray or shelf (preferably more than one such tray or shelf) and also an open-topped cup-shaped receptacle to facilitate the storage of the numerous small desk top items customarily found on a desk, including writing instruments, erasers, paper clips, stapler, and the like. Also, in one preferred form, the device may be optionally provided with means for mounting a controllably removable and interchangeable visible display means, usually at the top thereof.
